Since its launch in 2012 the IRONHEART range has been a consistent and much-loved member of the Laney amp family. So it is with great happiness that we are pleased to announce that one of our most successful tube amp ranges has been brought back home to where it was created.
FEATURES • High Power All tube heads, featuring four ECC83 preamp tubes and either two or four 6L6 Power tubes • Full 60 Watts RMS (BCC-IRT60H) or 120 Watts RMS (BCC-IRT120H) • 3 Independent Channels o CH1 – Clean o CH2 – Rhythm, with Gain, Volume and passive 3 band Tone stack o CH3 –...
CONTROLS FRONT PANEL INPUT SOCKET Plug in the input jack from your guitar here, suits any standard 6.3mm mono jack. PRE-BOOST CONTROL The switchable and variable PRE-BOOST control is an additional gain setting to increase the input signal to the preamp tubes, just like placing a boost pedal in the signal path. This drives the preamp tubes harder, resulting in more distortion and works on both channels.

LEAD VOLUME Controls the Lead channel volume. Experiment with different combinations of the GAIN and VOLUME controls to achieve different sounds. Reducing the GAIN while increasing the VOLUME will result in a warm, open, overdriven sound as the power amp is driven harder, while reducing the VOLUME and increasing the GAIN will give a tighter, more modern sound with more distortion.

REVERB Controls the level of the built in Laney-designed digital reverb. WATTS The WATTS acts like an overall Volume control for the amplifier, allowing the user to retain similar tonal qualities, unique to a valve amplifier, but at reduced output levels, ideal in a practice environment.
REAR PANEL 1. MAINS INLET and FUSE Make sure the voltage indicated on the rear panel is correct for your country! This drawer contains the main safety fuse for the unit. The fuse protects the amplifier from damage in the event of fault by disconnecting the mains power supply. USE ONLY THE CORRECT SIZE AND RATING SPECIFIED ON THE REAR PANEL, also detailed in the Specifications table of this manual.

Five 1/4" mono jack sockets are provided for the connection of a variety of speaker cabinets. The Laney GS range of cabinets (including the GS112FE / GS212FE / GS412IA and GS412IS) are recommended for use with the BCC-IRT Heads. Always ensure you use the correct impedance socket to match your chosen cabinet/s total impedance.
HOW TO CONNECT BCC-IRT60H/120H Plug directly into a passive cabinet using the 4 Ω loudspeaker output. Connect your effects pedalboard to the FX loop with the FX loop FX Loop level set to 0dB. In this example the 8 Ω loudspeaker output is used. Page 9...
The high quality, IR loaded, speaker emulated D.I. output can be connected to any balanced/unbalanced line level input device such as a PA or audio interface to DAW. Toggle off the cabinet emulation should you want to use your own in the DAW. In the examples below the SPEAKER outputs must be connected to a suitable cabinet or speaker load box.
EXAMPLE SETTINGS The best way to get started with your BCC-IRT HEAD is to experiment with the controls to find your favourite sounds. However, for a head start, here are a few example tone settings to try out: CLEAN ROCK METAL DETUNED METAL JAZZ...
